You did a fantastic job revitalizing your latest yard. It’s like a whole different yard.

Im not sure how much longer I can edge

This video feels like 15 min. So much useful information

I'd also suggest you learn which way your string trimmer rotates. If you go the opposite direction, the grass will kick back into the flower bed. If you go the right direction, the grass goes back into the yard.

I swap my mowing direction every time I mow. If I mowed northeast and southwest last week, then I do northwest and south east thus week.i also do 3 laps around the perimeter before I start my diagonal cuts.

Im in Florida and I have realized I need to mow it 1-2x week to help keep the lawn healthy, keep weeds at a minimum and keep it easier to maintain. Trust me I wish I could do it every 2 weeks but I did that for almost 1 year and my lawn had suffered from terrible weeds, uneven growth and more energy needed from me since grass was higher.

Advice is specific to cool season lawns of course. Down south most warm season trophy lawns are reel cut 0.5"-1.25". Not how the professional mow/blow/go crews would do it, its even better, how an obsessed lawn geek would do it. And a lawn geek wants those stripes!

I always alternate- E/W, N/S diagonal left, diagonal right. Learned this from George Toma- heads groundskeeper at Kauffman Stadium.

Hola 👋 señor Silver Cymbal!!! That was a great video, very educational and I have learned the hard way about to stop doing the mower too close to the edge causing bald spots and damaging the blade with small rocks 😢😢😢

For once I'm already a pro at something you do and post about!

[benwhittle]

The advice and testing from you and Project Farm can set people up for success for life.

For us in Australia it is strange to be cutting our grass as tall as in America. Obviously we grow (some) different grasses here too.
There are those that say the Milwaukee mower doesn't cut low enough for Australian use. The 18" & 21" models Height Range is
25mm - 102mm, while the one I use is an AEG (from TTI as is Ryobi) with their models cutting height being 18-75mm. Yes, it makes a difference.

During hotter dryer months in summer I raise my blade height. Less stress on the grass and more dew capture on longer grass blades.

[jonathonalsop]

A bunch of my lawn's at 2.5 feet now heading for 3.5, tough pushing through at that height. Have to break out the scythe to get it manageable for the push.

Looks great! I mow at #4 on Ego after June 1 for Summer, Hydrotain down and looking good.

[PrincessCutLawnCare]

speaking of mower blades, i just got the high lift blade for the milwaukee.
excited to test it out!

I am someone who had never mowed a lawn because I lived in apartments or condos where it was done for us. However, moving to Canada in a single family home I had to mow the lawn myself and the timing sucked because I had multiple spinal fractures, rib fractures, sternum and broken right arm because of motor-vehicle accident. I came here to see how to mow my lawn properly because the neighbors were calling the city on me because my grass was 8 inches long (which is not allowed by the city).
Thanks for the simple and educational video on how to mow a lawn correctly.

You're the DIY'er's best friend. I learn so much from your channel.

I use an EDGE TRIMMER, for edging. A STRING TRIMMER, for touching up around walls, etc. One week I mow in one direction, and next week the next one. When I'm done, I go around and remove whatever pesky weed is trying to come out.
4 summers in professional grounds keeping crews taught me well for life.

[brianyoungberg]

Changing direction is also just more interesting to do. I rotate each time horizontally and iagonally. Four different directions.
